dmm.filter.enable
Attribute
Enables or disables filtered measurements for the selected DMM function.
Usage
To read the filter enable:
value = dmm.filter.enable
value: Represents the present filter enable setting
To write the filter enable:
dmm.filter.enable = value
value: Represents the desired filter enable setting. Use one of the following:
dmm.ON or 1 to enable filter measurements
dmm.OFF or 0 to disable filter measurements
Remarks
This is the filter enable setting for the DMM and it applies to the selected function as
indicated by dmm.func. Querying the setting when the selected function does not
support it will cause nil to be returned.
This attribute indicates whether filtered measurements are enabled (or not).
Changing functions with dmm.func (on page 13-137) will reflect the filter enable setting
for that function.
The dmm.reset() (on page 13-161) function disables the filter.
Also see
dmm.filter.count (on page 13-134), dmm.filter.type (on page 13-135),
dmm.filter.window (on page 13-136)
Example
To enable the filter for 2-wire ohms:
dmm.func = "twowireohms"
dmm.filter.enable = dmm.ON
dmm.filter.type
Attribute
Indicates the filter type for the DMM measurements on selected DMM functions.
Usage
To read the filter type:
value = dmm.filter.type
value: Represents the present filter type setting
To write the filter type:
dmm.filter.type = value
value: Represents the desired filter type for measurements. Use:
dmm.FILTER_MOVING_AVG or 0 for moving average filter
dmm.FILTER_REPEAT_AVG or 1 for repeat filtering
